So whats wrong in a serial blasts accused being nominated to contest for Lok Sabha? As it is, the Lok Sabha has criminals of every hue including murderers, scamsters, rapists, thugs and fraudsters. Nomination of Maulana Hakim Tariq Quasmi, accused in the serial blasts in civil court premises in Lucknow, Varanasi and Faizabad in Nov last year, only completes the picture on the Indian political canvass. The National Loktantrik Party (NLP)’s national president Arshad Khan deserves to be congratulated for making such an educated choice of party candidate for Lok Sabha. Maybe he could not find a single person more suited for the responsibility from amongst the large population of the largest state in the country.
The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati – herself an accused in a ‘disproportionate assets case’ – is also keeping pace with the happenings in her state by ordering a judicial probe into the arrest of Quasmi from Barabanki by the Special Task Force. She is obviously not convinced that criminals like Maulana Hakim Tariq Quasmi belong behind bars. In her zeal to garner Muslim votes in the state, she seems to accept anyone with any background suitable for entry into politics from her state. Behenji also seems to believe that the electorate of Uttar Pradesh desreves to be represented by criminals.
